Asheville tailgate markets sure looked like fall on the first official day of the new season, thanks to displays of Indian corn, pumpkins and, of course, apples.

"You gotta try these," said shopper Mary Thompson about B&L Organic's Royal Limbertwig apples, which were nestled among their ever-growing supply of pumpkins at North Asheville Tailgate Market. McConnell Farms (Asheville City Market, Asheville City Market South, North Asheville Tailgate Market) plans to have Galas soon and likely Cameos, too.

Expect more pumpkins from vendors in the coming weeks. And grab another decorating must-have: Indian corn. Earhart Market Gardens and Tsalagi Greens had displays last weekend at Asheville City Market .
